This week I’ve done more beanies. I also tried the spiral gloves again but there was too much counting to do. It doesn’t suit my crocheting while watching the TV, so I’ve tried another pattern, Ammonite fingerless gloves, which work better. 
This is the pattern:
Sorry I didn’t get to visit many blogs last week; I had my osteoporosis jab and it knocked me for six. I know it works though; before July 2018 if I fell just on the level I broke a bone. I then had my first jab. Dec 2018 I fell down 3 steps at the London Bridge hospital and only broke my kindle.
Anyway, before the the jab we had my works Christmas quiz, which they kindly invited me to zoom in for. I learned last minute there were points for Christmas attire. Having just ogot out the Christmas decorations, LLJ’s Christmas puds came in very useful. 😀
This is a tree I bought in Nicaragua in 1986.
Thea still loves my crochet cushion but also has a new friend....
It’s rained a lot but there was a nice sky on the way back from Margate, and yesterday we had a bit of a walk round the village, past St. Ethelburga’s well 
And finally.....
I wish you all a happy Christmas and a much improved 2021. Take care and happy WOYWW
Hugs
Lynne
Love Thea's new friend Lynne. Those gloves are spectacular! Glad the jabs are working so well for you. Merry Christmas and here's to a better 2021 for all. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #11
ReplyDeleteThe ammonite pattern is fantastic and really lends itself to those gloves, they look brilliant! I’m sorry the jab made you feel grim, worth it for the protection but not much fun to endure. Love the tree and decorations and I can’t think of a better use for the puddings than earrings!! Hope you and Brian have a good Christmas away from the madness, I know how fortunate I am to have the family here, the only problem might be getting Owen back to Reading at some point but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it!

Hi Lynne. So much fun in your post today - I like the tree from Nicaragua; think your own Christmas tree is great - so many memories put onto it; the gloves are brilliant; and, oh my, that last picture is just brilliantly funny!
ReplyDeleteHave a really precious Christmas.
Take care. God bless.

Hi Lynne, I hope your Osteo Jab does the job, I have a friend who has the same, she says it's her little miracle. Your tree looks lovely full of memories but your ammonite gloves have stolen the post for me today how fantastic.. i'd love to own a pair. If you ever do orders Lynne.. come find me pleaseeeee.. xx
ReplyDeleteI hope the drone worker isn't punished too harshly hee hee what fun..

I'm so glad the Osteo jab works for you, just for one tiny tiny second I did wonder which bone the kindle was! I love the ammonite hand warmers and will definitely be having a go at them, I have the yarn and am just off to try and track down the pattern!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely Christmas, stay safe and well,

I love the hand warmers! That design is fabulous! Thea is so pretty and what a fun new friend! Interesting for the "drone" deliveries, we're much too rural for such a thing. Glad your shot helps! Sorry about the Kindle. Merry Christmas and God bless!

Hi! those gloves are awesome! I love your tree full of special memories too ~ Great funnies :) Merry Christmas! Love, Karen #32
ReplyDeleteLove the gloves glad the puds came in handy! Happy Christmas xx Helen #1
ReplyDeleteRoared with laughter at your funnies, Lynne, and shared them with my hubby! Brilliant! I'm glad Thea has a new friend to cuddle up with, as she must still be missing Dino. Sweet pictures of her.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the treatments work, even if they are unpleasant. However, even though the Kindle is a smaller one than a normal bone, it's still jolly painful when you break it, and the place it hurts most is in the wallet lol!! I love those ammonite gloves. Where did you get the pattern? They look as if they'd be fun to make. I've got several pairs of bright multicoloured knitted fingerless mittens - random stripes and each finger a different colour which always cause some amusement!
Thanks for visiting. My hubby and I roared at the suggestion that Ruby is dainty!! Lol lol! She's a great fat lump that weighs a ton! She's really solid. The combined weight of the two of them is over a stone lol! They completely weigh me down when I've got both of them on top of me. Last year the vet told her she was fat, but it didn't shame her into doing anything about it. I think Lily is worse, though!
My hubby is very pleased with his new brolly. He never reads any labels or instructions so quite often his purchases come as a bit of a surprise to him!
Have a lovely Christmas and enjoy opening your Tiny Carpet - happy WOYWW,

ReplyDeleteoh...and the cartoon! hahah!
ReplyDeleteI just love those fingerless gloves - what a fabulous design! Must comment on the picture of you with the band on your head - it really suits you. What a lovely picture!
ReplyDeleteI hope by now the lorry drivers have started to disperse and are safely on their way to home for them all. Didn't realise you lived down there.
Here's to a Wonderful and Very Happy Christmas to you and yours - and above all, Stay Safe and Well

Thanks Neet, very kind of you. it started as just a festive band but then played 2nd fiddle once I thought of the earrings.
DeleteSome locals are grousing about the lorries parked everywhere but they forget these are KEY WORKERS imprisoned with little food, water or toilet facilities just for wanting to go home.
I hope they make it soon.
Hope you have a happy and peaceful Christmas
Love Lynne
Love love love the Ammonite gloves, might have to try them myself. It has just reminded me to put my fingerless gloves on as my hands get cold at my desk.
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy Christmas, Love BJ#17
